Arrested on Charg. of Conspiracy.


CHICAGO, Nov. a-Conspiracy is the charge
under which two men, said by the police to be
rabid Anarchists, were taken from the central
station this afternoon and locked up In the
Armory. The two men. with number of others
who are either under lock and key under the
stricrest surveillance, said by the police to
be implicated in q plot the exact nature of
which the police are not yet ready to divulge,
but which contemplated the of force against
the execution OF the death sentence
the condemned Reds. Frederick Horst
was arrested, late Saturday night,
by Detective Schuttler, in the vicinity of ely
bourn avenue and Division street At the time
of his arrest Horst had his person four 49,
calibre dou ble-action revolvers of a cheap pat
tern. These weapons were for delivery to Emil
Wende. 20 whom Horst under contract to
bring dozen revolyers of the same pattern.
Wende, in turn, was TO distribute the weapons
10 persons already selected. Wende was arrested
u very short time after Horst, and both were
detained at the Central station until this
afterr con. Wende booked on charge of
consr.racy, was Horst. against whom the ad-
di.ional chGrge of carrying concealed weapons
was placed. Lieutenant Steele says the depart
ment has enough evidence to convict these two
men and a number of others of onspiracy. For
two years Anarchists and Socialists have made
headquarters in the northwestern portion of the
North Side, and especial attention has been
given By the police to that section since the deci
sion Of the Supreme Court at Ottowa-
Many of the indicted after the
Haymarkes massacre, but never brought
TO trial, i've and work IN that section. While,
TO all outward appearances they seemed to
have avoided their old haunts and sympathizers,
they have secretly been taking an interest in
the PRONUNCIATION of their old-time doctrines.
The police have had spies among them. and, IS
soon az they began their detailed plotting last
week, number of them were taken in bv the
detectives. Lieutenant Steele refuses to say
how many prisoners have been made.

Sunday, May 2, there Was meeting of the
second company Of the Lehr and Wehr Verein
and of the Northwest Side Group of the Inter
national, at Bohemian Hall. Engel and Fischer
were p resent Engel had there submitted IA
plan Of his own conception, according to which
whenever it would come to conflict between
the police and the Northwestern groups that
bombs should be thrown into the police stations,
and the riflemen of the Lehr and Weir Verein
should post themselves in line in a certain dis
lance and whoever would come out should be shot
down-all those that would come out of tho sta
ton or stations, he said-then 1t should proceed
in that way until we would come
to the heart of the city. Within
the heart of the city, of course
the fight should commence in earnest This
plan was adopted. The next day, which was the
day before the meeting, meeting was held
Griefs Hall, where Engel and Fischer were
present, and where copies of circular written
that afternoon by Spies. and afterward called
the fRevenee" circular, were distributed. This
alleged that six workinemen had been
killed by the police that afternoon. In
of the city-which was not true only one
having been killed-called upon the workingmen
to arm themselves and .savenge the atrocious
murder which has been committed upon your
brothers to-day, and which will likely be COM
mitted upon you tomorrow" The circular was
discussed and suggestions were made to what
should be done within the next few days." En-
gel presested his plan again, and. in spite of the
opposition of some who thought there were not
enough Of them to carry it out. it was adopted
USE OF THE WORD ''RUHE."
Fischer suggested the word s.Ruhe,r meaning
"rest," or 'peace." as the signal word. When
ever it shonld appear in the ''letter-boxn column
of the lter-Zeitung, it was to be understood
that the s'social revolution" had come The
duplication of that word was to be the signal to
the EARNED sections" to arm themselves and re-
pair to certain places. and when they had been
informed by committee that q conflict mad be-
gun. theyTere to attack the police stations and
the policemen with bombs and rifles as already
stated This committee decide when
print "Ruhe' in the Arbeter-Zeitune and to
have charge of the Haymarkst meeting. The
call for tins meeting said .Workingmen, arm
yourselves and appear in full forcen Later
editions of the haud-bill suppressed this line.
The court reviews the evidence at great length,
and reaches the conclusion that there can be
mo douhF that this plan for bomb-throwing.

am in precisely the same position as Mr.. Parnell,
Mr.. Eean, Mr.. Brennan and others of the
National League whose names have been IN

Another Forged Letter.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis journal:
Your editorial of to-day in speaking Of the
Morey Garfield and Parnell forgeries, reminds
me of noted one which took place during
Grants first term as President. and was vouched
for by John H. Beadle. of the Rockville Tribune.
The Chief justice of the then Territory of Idaho
had gone to Utah on public business, and during
his absence somebody in Boise City forged let
ter in his name to President Grant peremptorily
resIgning his Office and asking that, in order to
attend to important public business, his successor
be mmediately appointed. The letter was in
excellent form, official paper, and the name
signed thereto was complete fac-simile of the
Chief justices. The resignation was at once &C
cepted. the successor appointed. and well on his
way to Idaho before the forgery was uuearthed
Investigation proved the guilty party to be
personal enemy of the Chief-justice, who escaped
punishment By fleeing to Mexico. V
